Note that \(x^{T}Ax\) is always a scalar value (e.g., note that \(x^TA = y^T\) for some vector \(y\in\mathbb{R}^n\), and \(y^Tx\) is the dot product between \(x\) and \(y\) and, hence, a real scalar)....Note that \(x^{T}Ax\) is always a scalar value (e.g., note that \(x^TA = y^T\) for some vector \(y\in\mathbb{R}^n\), and \(y^Tx\) is the dot product between \(x\) and \(y\) and, hence, a real scalar). Exists for every square matrix and says every such matrix, \(A\), is unitarily equivalent to an upper-triangular matrix, \(T\) (i.e., there exists an orthonomal basis with respect to which \(A\) is upper-triangular)
